WWE Releases Serena?!

Update (12:12 a.m. ET): The release was reportedly made several days ago and word is just starting to get out about it. Still no confirmation yet on WWE.com as of this evening.

What the fuck? Didn't she just get her in-ring debut on Smackdown this past Friday!? I imagine they will announce this on WWE.com either Friday night or over the weekend. I wonder what the deal is - from what I understand, homegirl was a great worker in the indies and the FCW, and I was always surprised why she was never used in-ring during her SES run. Plus, she was fly with the bald hair. Hopefully we get more news on this soon...

Serena's sudden release from World Wrestling Entertainment is being compared to Mickie James' dismissal from the organization earlier this year as both involved matters concerning behavioral problems on the road.

Serena had been warned several times by management to tighten up her road behavior as she was putting her job at risk. It ultimately reached a point where WWE had no choice but to let her go, just as a big push was planned no less.

It is said that the episode of WWE SmackDown! in which Serena was caught drinking alcohol at a bar was designed to send a message to her. An irate CM Punk immediately chastised her following the airing of the video, but she was forgiven the following week. Luke Gallows, however, refused to follow suit and walked out on his fellow Straight Edge Society members.

News of her departure from WWE is being kept under wraps internally, but an announcement is expected to be made this weekend after WWE SmackDown! airs on Friday. The show was taped last Wednesday in California.

Had a feeling some form of her not kayfabing when off TV might be the issue...
